When I snapped this photo it was just to have a funny picture before I sent my husband off for a minor surgery. Now here it is 12 hours later, and he is lying in the ICU. As life has given us an unexpected hurdle, I would like to ask for everyone to be keeping him in your thoughts. The next few days will be bumpy and I am trying to keep optimistic. But I can't help to worry about how I am going to handle his care, along with my daughter having her surgery scheduled in just a few short days. They are both depending on me, and I pray that I will be able to stay strong for both of them. They say you are never given more than what you can handle, it is yet to be seen if I am up for the challenge.

I would like to send a quick thank you to my dear friend Lisa, who was by my side from the moment that I called her. She is a gift that has been given to me and I am grateful for that.'til I see you again~Am

Oh my, Amy, my prayers go up for you and your dear Dan and sweet Elizabeth. This morning I told you to read "Do you know where your children are?" May your sweethearts be safe and return to complete health I pray. "The Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still." Exodus 14:14 May you rest and be strengthened and trust Jesus to fight this battle for you--He's the only One Who can. Lisa is a friend beyond measure. Hugs to you from me.

I have the privilege of being able to shape the minds and lives of children who are battling disabilities. It can be very trying at times, but more often than not it is very rewarding. As a mother of a child with a disability, I know the struggles that they go through on a daily basis. This allows me to have a little more compassion for the people that I work with.
